My son had his first karate class today and the staff was amazing! They treated him like he was a long time student. I highly recommend Kirk's Premier Martial Arts!

My experience at Kirk’s Krav has been amazing. Great instructors with diverse/unique backgrounds create an experience that you can’t find somewhere else. The training is approachable and incredibly engaging, even to a non-athlete like me. Everything you learn has some sort of real-world application and it is much more than just combatives: You are learning how to avoid confrontation and deescalate when possible; how to be aware of your surroundings whether you’re going to your car at night or walking through a crowded city with your family; and of course, how to defend yourself whether you are carrying groceries or holding hands with your kid. It is also amazing cardio without the monotony of the treadmill. Best investment in myself I’ve made all year!

Had an amazing time at the women's self defense class! I was nervous & felt silly at first, but it didn't take long to get warmed up & find my inner strength. It felt great to dish it out & beat up the training pads & I was sweating like crazy, but it never felt like exercise. Everyone was encouraging & welcoming, it was awesome! My daughter loved the kids bullying class, called it "Wonder Woman training" we can't wait to go again!

This school is by far the best!! We tried several and are so thankful to be here. Our daughter loves class and the instructors...they are fabulous role models. She is working daily on self defense, leadership, responsibility, attention to detail, discipline, strength, health and friendships.
